  • Patent number: 7652561
    Abstract: A process for monitoring a tire (11 to 14) mounted on a land vehicle (VH), the process being implemented by means of a central control unit (UC) and an electronic chip (21g to 24g) implanted in a sidewall of the tire. A tire is provided with two chips (21g to 24g, 21d to 24d) implanted in its respective sidewalls, but only one of them is operational during use depending on the mounting direction of the tire. The chips of the same tire contain a given tire identification code (K11 to K14) and specific respective codes (Kg, Kd) that indicate their implantation in the tire. The process is implemented by compiling and/or updating, both in the central unit (UC) and in the operational chip (21g, 22d, 23g, 24d), historical records of the use of the tire by memorising updated values of evolutive parameters of the use of the tire, such as the number of kilometers (DIST) it has covered or its highest running speed (VMAX).
